Sagamore Bridge lane closures end for summer

(May 20, 2014) All lane restrictions on the Sagamore Bridge have been lifted for the rest of the spring into the summer, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The four travel lanes, which have been restricted because of continuing painting work on the bridge, will remain open until after Labor Day, according to a statement the Army Corps released Monday.

The $12.4 million painting project on the Sagamore Bridge began in March 2013.

The Army Corps noted that painting on the steel superstructure above the roadway will continue this spring and summer. Workers will use a hanging access platform and containment system that doesn't require travel lane restrictions.
